Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 359

[Chapter 358 Auction (Congratulations to book friend 20230505021948214!)]

“It turns out to be the ‘Ice Fairy’ from the Xuanbing Palace!”

Huang Huzi bowed with a smile and said, “Fairy, are you here for the auction as well?”

“Of course…” Feng Bingxian’s expression was cold, as if she was keeping people at a distance.

Only Fang Xi knew that this woman had a fiery inner passion.

Seeing that this woman’s cultivation is still only at the foundation-building stage, I believe she came to the auction this time for the spiritual objects that can form the elixir.

Feng Bingxian also saw Fang Xi, but in her eyes he was just a scholar in the early stage of Jindan.

Although he was a little surprised that the face was unfamiliar, he didn’t say much.

Soon, the two of them got the jade tokens representing Jindan cultivators and moved into their respective cave dwellings.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, practicing quietly, and had no intention of renewing his past relationship.

After all, he came here for serious business.

A dozen days later.

The Xuankong Mountain Auction opened on time.

Fang Xi still looked like a scholar as he walked into the box.

After sitting cross-legged and quietly waiting for the auction to begin, he suddenly sighed.

There have been a lot of people visiting the Xuankongshan Market these days, and there are also a lot of stalls.

He tried his luck as usual, but still came up empty-handed.

“It seems… I really don’t have any chance in this area…”

Fang Xi sighed.

At this time, on the big auction platform in front, a beautiful woman in white fox fur suddenly appeared in the air. “Dear guests, we are honored to have come from afar…”

“I didn’t expect that… Qingye Chamber of Commerce would even invite the ‘Fox Fairy’ out.”

Many cultivators expressed their feelings and looked at the Fox Fairy with some obsession.

Fang Xi glanced at it and then looked away without paying much attention.

She was just a female cultivator who had practiced the art of charm to form a pill. She was nothing at all. Her looks were even inferior to that of his second student.

The Fox Fairy had a completely different style from the old man Tiansha. She first thanked the visitor and teased a few cultivators. After many Jindan cultivators became impatient, she got to the point: “Now… the first auction item, three bottles of ‘Huangjing Pill’. This pill can help cultivators in the early stage of foundation building to break through to the middle stage, and it has very few side effects. It is considered a top-notch pill of its kind. The reserve price…”

Fang Xi watched coldly from the sidelines, seeing one fine pill, magic weapon, talisman, and even rare item after another being put on the stage, the atmosphere of the auction gradually became more intense.

finally……

“It’s time for the finale of this auction!”

The Fox Fairy smiled and said, “Our Chamber of Commerce has specially prepared three grand finale items for the auction. They should be able to give you a surprise. Now… please invite the first grand finale item to the stage!”

Under the somewhat surprised gazes of many monks, a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with a look of nervousness and fear on her face, was brought to the auction platform by two maids.

For a moment, there was a dull silence.

After a long while, a sneering voice sounded in the box: “Since the Qingye Chamber of Commerce and the Red Blood Cult reconciled, how come they have become a demonic style? Does this woman have a spirit body or some kind of high-quality cauldron?”

“So it’s Mr. Mo… He opened an academy and taught people. He has extraordinary Confucian and Taoist powers, and he can’t stand such things…”

Some monks who knew the identity of the Jindan cultivator in the box nodded.

“Please rest assured, Mr. Mo. Qingye Chamber of Commerce has always been neutral and will not buy or sell cultivator slaves. This girl volunteered to be auctioned. She is not a furnace, but a genius cultivator with a heavenly water spirit root!”

The fox fairy said with a smile.

“What? It’s actually a heavenly spiritual root?”

One by one, the Jindan cultivators stood up, and a female voice that Fang Xi was familiar with rang out: “Are you willing to auction off such a genius from the Qingye Chamber of Commerce?”

“Of course there are some inside stories about this matter. Although my Chamber of Commerce wants to buy her directly and train her well, the seller behind her has not agreed… I can only tell you some inside stories. This girl is from Jiang Country. Even if there are some connections, it is not a big deal. The details will be explained to the buyer after the auction is over.”

The fox fairy winked playfully, “This kind of immortal cultivation prodigy is guaranteed to reach the Jindan stage in the future, and may even have a chance to reach the Yuanying stage… The base price is 300,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 spirit stones!”

The price was indeed low, and many monks were tempted.

Of course, the loyalty of such purchased geniuses is indeed somewhat questionable, and they may not receive much resources, but cultivating them to the stage of Jindan requires the least investment of resources and the most stable profits, which is enough to attract many forces.

Moreover, not all spiritual roots need to be cultivated. There are many other ways to use them, such as the “stealing pill method” that Fang Xi knows, or cultivating them into furnaces, or even refining corpses…

It is even possible to give them to a family of immortal cultivators for breeding to improve the immortal cultivation qualifications of their offspring.

‘The reason is that cultivating immortals requires investment of resources, and too much effort is put into the early stage… It’s okay to cultivate to the stage of forming a pill, but if you want to condense a Nascent Soul, even if you have a heavenly spiritual root, you need to invest too many resources… If you have these resources, of course you should give them to your own people first, or even yourself… Giving them to such a loyal and questionable heavenly spiritual root is a disease! ‘

“I’m afraid this woman’s fate is quite miserable, just like that of Chen Ping, the blood spirit body. Both were squeezed dry and eaten up completely…”

“In the past few years, there should have been some Heavenly Spiritual Roots in the Yuan Kingdom, but there are still only two or three Yuanying old monsters…”

Fang Xi suddenly thought of his good friend in Qingzhu Mountain Market, but he just sighed and did not take any action.

He had no intention of accepting a disciple, so this natural spiritual root was of no use to him.

In the outside world, the Fox Fairy asked several Jindan cultivators to come forward and check. After confirming that the girl did have a heavenly spiritual root, they immediately started the auction.

In the end, it was bought by an unknown Jindan cultivator for 530,000 spirit stones.

“It seems that in the minds of these Jindan, the value of this purchased heavenly spiritual root is similar to that of a slightly inferior Jindan spiritual object, and is not as good as the Five Elements Jindan…”

Fang Xi yawned, and suddenly the voice of the Fox Fairy came to his ears: “The second finale item… the Spirit Source Pearl!”

His eyes suddenly opened and he looked at the fist-sized, colorfully glowing spirit bead in the hands of the Fox Fairy.

With his spiritual sense, he could naturally feel that this spirit bead was slowly increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth!

At this time, the voice of the Fox Fairy continued: “Some Taoist friends may not know about the ‘Spirit Source Pearl’. This pearl is a rare item created by nature. If used in conjunction with a formation, it can even directly create a small spiritual vein. This ‘Spirit Source Pearl’ is only the lowest-level ‘Spirit Eye Item’, and the spiritual vein it can create is only about the first level. However, doing so is a waste of natural resources… The most suitable use of this item is for Jindan cultivators like us to carry it with us. This way, even in the mortal world, it can increase the speed of cultivation.”

“And if it is placed in the cave, it can make the cave’s spiritual energy even better. The starting price of this spiritual source bead is 500,000 spiritual stones!”

“Five hundred and fifty thousand!”

“Five hundred and eighty thousand!”

…

Soon, the price of Lingyuan Pearls began to rise.

For a Jindan cultivator, all the qualifications of outsiders are fake, and only his own breakthrough in cultivation is real.

Therefore, any spiritual item that is useful to Jindan cultivators can often be sold at a sky-high price.

Fang Xi looked at the auction venue calmly, and saw that the price of the Spirit Source Pearl kept rising, finally reaching 750,000.

At this price, most of the Jindan cultivators had been eliminated, with only two people still bidding.

“I am the elder of Hunyuan Sect, and I hope this fellow Taoist will give me some face.”

Fang Xi’s spiritual sense suddenly caught a telepathic voice, and he couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.

“Sure enough, there are people like this everywhere, but at least they didn’t shout it out in public, but threatened it secretly, which shows that they have some brains…”

After the intimidation from the elder of Hunyuan Sect, his competitors were indeed scared away.

The Fox Fairy seemed to know nothing about this: “The Taoist friend in Box No. 7 of the A-character has offered 760,000 spirit stones. Is there anyone who offers a higher price? Otherwise, this spirit eye item will belong to the Taoist friend in Box No. 7 of the A-character…”

“Eight hundred thousand!”

Fang Xi’s unhurried voice came.

“Eight hundred thousand! Fellow Daoist No. 6 from Yizi offered eight hundred thousand!”

The fox fairy immediately threw him a wink.

“This fellow Taoist…”

At this time, Fang Xi also received the message from the elder of Hunyuan Sect. He just smiled coldly and replied with a word “get lost”.

Bang!
In the No. 7 box, a young man in a purple robe crushed the teacup in his hand: “How dare you be so disrespectful to our Hunyuan Sect…”

“Brother, you are obsessed…”

Next to the purple-robed youth sat a female cultivator who was also at the Jindan stage. “We were ordered to come here just for that mission… Now that the Qingye Chamber of Commerce and the Red Blood Sect have both been attacked, it’s time to go back and report.”

“snort……”

The purple-robed young man snorted coldly: “When the Qingye Chamber of Commerce and the Red Blood Sect reconciled, my Hunyuan Sect was indeed under a lot of pressure…”

“This person actually possesses 800,000 spirit stones. The power behind him and his own strength are both unfathomable… We shouldn’t create unnecessary trouble.”

The female cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage sighed.

“Hmph, this is the only way.” The purple-robed young man had no idea what he was thinking about, but he actually endured it. He watched the Fox Fairy offer three times, and the Spirit Source Pearl fell into the hands of others.

“Next, we have the last item of this auction – the Water-Bound Golden Pill!”

The fox fairy giggled and ordered her maid to bring up the last item.

“Golden Pill…”

Many monks were murmuring, with a look of determination in their eyes.

“It turned out to be a water-based golden elixir. Bingxian is really lucky.”

In the box, Fang Xi, who had just handed over the Spirit Source Pearl, saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile.

Although the Water-based Golden Elixir is most suitable for cultivators who have completed their foundation in practicing water-based techniques, the effect will not be discounted too much for those with ice-based spiritual roots, and should be able to maintain about 90% of its efficacy.

For many cultivators with ice-attribute spiritual roots, it is already the best choice for forming a pill.

Sure enough, he heard a somewhat excited female voice: “Seven hundred thousand spirit stones!”
